Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-9-2018: Talk Like A Pirate Day

19th September, 2018: ye lubbers!

Yeah, blow doing that for a long time!

He says, eyeballing the Teaser video … … 

At any rate?

It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day.

So if you haven’t recorded a silly video and posted it somewhere … ?

Complete with a certain amount of corpsing?

I’ll be disappointed … 

~≈§≈~

If you’re in the UK, you’ll possibly know that the British Board of Film Classification is the body that gives films a certificate: one that will permit it to play in cinemas across the country.

Something that can be changed by local councils.

And something that’s been done by a few councils: for a film called A Northern Soul.   Most of the councils concerned have given it a milder classification than the BBFC.

All well and good.

I’ll be frank, though.

It’s the first time I’ve heard of it happening in a while.

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

“It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.”
Steve Jobs.

And a song …

Or two … 

And a philosophical question … 

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        As long as the books are balancing, you should be OK, Olga^: but Brexit’s been touching everything.   There’s talk — in case you DIDN’T know — of another referendum.   I hope it happens!   And yes, I’d recommend Solo.   It’s a good slice of fun.   AND there’s an unexpected returning character, at the end: one I know I’d like to see more of!

†        My pleasure, Debbi^.   Can I make a confession?   I’m frustrated.   There’s still no start time!

‡        According to Google Translate, Seeräuber means ‘buccaneer.’   My head, on the other hand?   Is telling me the word is ‘sea robber’ … 

^        Sorry about the Intro and Teaser video: but talking like a pirate seemed the thing … Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …
